Experience a life-changing mission trip to Atlanta, Georgia, with It Is Written! This mission trip will focus exclusively on medical outreach. It Is Written will partner with AMEN (Adventist Medical Evangelism Network) and the Georgia-Cumberland Conference to conduct a three-day medical clinic prior to a large-scale evangelistic series in Atlanta, beginning October 2. Each person served at the AMEN clinic will be invited to attend the series and offered Bible studies. 

There are two components to this trip: 

1. AMEN 3-day medical clinic: A variety of medical professions and skills will be utilized. Physicians, dentists, physical therapists, nurses, technicians, and other medical professionals are needed. 
2. Non-medical support: Team members are also needed to assist in various capacities at the clinic.
